Kobo Glo HD |
12:09 PM by faithbw in E-Book General | News I got an e-mail today about the latest Kobo e-reader. It appears to have similar specs to the Kindle Voyage (although Kobo is comparing it to the Kindle Paperwhite):
More info about the Kobo Glo HD is here. I'm perfectly happy with my PW but this e-reader seems nice and has a nice price as well. |

Nominate MobileRead's 10 best fiction books of the 20th Century |
06:31 AM by pdurrant in E-Book General | Reading Recommendations The best books of the 21st century thread made me think that a MobileRead list of the ten best books of the 20th century would be fun. To avoid, as much as possible, recentness bias, let's go for the best book of each decade of the 20th century. That is books first published: 1901-1910, 1911-1920, 1921-1930, 1931-1940, 1941-1950, 1951-1960, 1961-1970, 1971-1980, 1981-1990, 1991-2000 So this is the nomination thread. Please post your nominations for the best book of each decade of the 20th century. If you don't have a nomination for a particular decade that's fine. Please identify the decade for every nomination. No more than one nomination per decade per person. Please only nominate books that you have actually read: don't nominate based on reviews, TV programmes or films.
Let's see what books the collective wisdom of Mobileread thinks were the best of the 20th century! [EDIT: Please keep this thread just for nominations. You'll be able to discuss the nominations in the voting threads.] [EDIT2: Title changed to clarify that this is for a list of fiction, not non-fiction] [EDIT3: Nominations will be open until the end of April, or until a full 7 days have passed since the last nomination, whichever comes SOONER.] [EDIT4: Consolidated list:] 1901-1910 1911-1920 1921-1930 1931-1940 1941-1950 1951-1960 1961-1970 1971-1980 1981-1990 1991-2000 |
